It sounds like I need to cancel and then simply have my friend keep hitting refresh on recreation.gov? Is there a more guaranteed way or is this the best option?" Ahhh that's a fantastic suggestion. I'm gunna give this a try. |

Can you edit your permit reservation to list your friend as an alternate trip leader? If so that gives him the ability to pick up the permit. You may need to also adjust the number of people on the permit as well. If you can't do it on the website maybe give them a call. |

maxxbhp: "I don't need one but I wanted to thank you for doing this. If I recall correctly, that's a 2 permit EP and it's gonna be tough this time of year to get the date you want. " Thanks Was just hoping to help out a fellow paddler who may need one. Maybe someone that may get iced out with an early permit. The E.P. is a 2 a day and from the permit research posted here EP33 is the most booked for the season. My group is going in the week after. |

The permit is for Entry 33 Little Gabbro Lake Sunday, June 3, 2018. If someone is interested, let me know and we can try to make the timing work. |

could have played out in several ways in regards to two separate small groups who chose or had to modify their plans. |

I guess I could have been a real dick about it and canceled it a day or two before entry and let it go unused. Would that have been a better choice ??? I guess it is like they say: "No good deed goes unpunished" |

I don't work for the permit police. I just call it like I see it.... And there's that word again popping up. |

I appreciate you trying to let someone from this board get the permit. If it was a few days earlier I would probabally take you up on it, I've always wanted to go to Gabbro. I will be up in that area on Memorial weekend and I cannot spend a week or more there. I cancelled a permit for Gabbro in 2015 because I got sent to Alaska and I tried to let someone from this board have it, I did not have any luck. |

Often it is a very fully booked entry point. We went early June a few years ago. Little Gabbro, Gabbro and Bald Eagle seemed to have a lot of base camp to fish folks like my group. Maybe why they only let 2 per day in. We had great fishing. Hope you have fun. If you use bug dope, have an extra can ready in the car. That parking lot and entry portage was the buggiest place I have been in the BWCA. The lakes and campsites were fine, but that entry point... insane. |

What I also feel is he posted on 4-29 that he was canceling the permit.Fine , cancel it. Don't hang onto it for 8 days while he notifies everyone on this board to get a hold of him to try and coordinate the cancellation. Cancel it asap and then notify people on this site. |
